v25.0_001: Temporal GNN Implementation (TGN + TGAT)

Date: June 05, 2026 Version: v25.0 Source Task: t_5e371e49 Model: openrouter/owl-alpha


Executive Summary

Implemented both a Temporal Graph Network (TGN) and a Temporal Graph Attention Network (TGAT) to extend the v24 static GNN with temporal dynamics.

TGN Results

  • AUC-ROC: 0.8839 (target: 0.910, v24: 0.885)
  • AUC-PR: 0.8381
  • Accuracy: 0.8375
  • Training time: 6.2s
  • Note: High variance across runs due to small dataset (80 nodes). Best run: 0.9137.

TGAT Results

  • AUC-ROC: 0.9405 (target: 0.910, v24: 0.885) โ€” BEST
  • AUC-PR: 0.9390
  • Accuracy: 0.9375
  • Training time: 1.6s โ€” 4x faster than TGN
  • Note: More stable across runs due to self-attention mechanism.

Shared

  • Entities: 80 (v24: 55, +25 new)
  • Edges: 348
  • Walk-forward sigma: 0.0757 (target: < 0.05)
  • Target AUC 0.910: EXCEEDED by TGAT

TGAT wins on 7/9 metrics, with +0.0566 AUC improvement and 4x faster training. The Fourier time encoding + temporal self-attention approach proves significantly more effective than TGNโ€™s GRU memory module for this entity graph. TGAT also shows more stable performance across random seeds.


Architecture

TGN Components

  1. TimeEncoder โ€” Learnable sinusoidal time encoding (TGAT-style)
  2. MessageFunction โ€” Computes messages from src/dst memory + edge features + time
  3. MessageAggregator โ€” GRU-based aggregation of messages per destination node
  4. TemporalGraphAttention โ€” Multi-head attention with temporal bias
  5. Classifier โ€” MLP classifier over attention outputs

Hyperparameters

  • Hidden dim: 64
  • Time dim: 32
  • Memory dim: 64
  • Attention heads: 4
  • Dropout: 0.1
  • Learning rate: 0.001
  • Epochs: 50

80-Entity Graph

Expanded from 55 (v24) to 80 entities across 8 domains:

  • economic: 39 entities
  • political: 15 entities
  • military: 4 entities
  • religious: 4 entities
  • elements: 4 entities
  • media: 4 entities
  • healthcare: 4 entities
  • defense: 6 entities

Key Findings

  1. TGAT AUC target exceeded: 0.885 โ†’ 0.9405 (+0.0555), target was 0.910
  2. TGN essentially at baseline: 0.8839 vs v24 0.885 (within noise). High variance across runs.
  3. TGAT is the clear winner: 7/9 metrics, +0.0566 AUC over TGN, 4x faster training
  4. Fourier time encoding (TGAT) outperforms learnable sinusoidal encoding (TGN)
  5. Temporal self-attention more effective than GRU memory for this entity graph
  6. TGAT more stable across random seeds than TGN (GRU memory is sensitive to initialization)
  7. Dynamic edges: Both models capture evolving entity relationships
  8. Scalability: 80 entities with 348 edges trained in under 7s (both models)
  9. Domain expansion: 3 new domains (media, healthcare, defense) added
  10. WF sigma: 0.0757 โ€” acceptable but room for improvement in v26
  11. v26 recommendation: Use TGAT as primary model. Investigate TGN seed sensitivity.
